Feather # 234 — Loon

“I used gentle, earthy tones crafted from my own hand-made pigment, Minnesota Lake #1, to bring this feather to life. The soft gradients and fine, delicate lines create a sense of grounding and renewal, while the subtle splatters and delicate drips add an unexpected touch of dynamic energy. My brushstrokes are purposeful yet fluid, capturing moments of serenity and resilience that seem to shield and uplift the viewer.”
